Cornwall, Devon & Dorset - any small festivals in May?

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Hello to anybody reading this. I am getting married in May next year and we are going to honeymoon in the above counties. It would be nice to take in a small festival or two during that period. Does anybody know of any? They don't have to be solely music orientated but would like them to be ones where you camp for a few days. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Not only that, but you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you helped someone earn some brownie points. It's a win win situation.

Although not in Devon, Dorset or Cornwall and arguably not even held in May, Sunrise Festival is well worth a visit.

My recommendations:

Devon: Volksfest:

http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/volksfest/2014

In Plymouth on the old Shambala site - in a wooded location which despite it's proximity to urban feels in the countryside. You don't need to have a campervan.

Cornwall: The Masked Ball:

Listing not out yet - above is last year's event.

Also Paignton Bike Fest, DidgeFest's The Gathering, and possibly whatever replaces Run to The Sun (if anything does)

The Volsfest is looking good date wise. I've sent them an email and may well book that up - even though we'll probably be sneered at in our Transit campervan!

if you have a van go for the van camping (there's loads of different types in there) - the advantage is you are closest to the arena - and the tents are further away. It's nice to go to a festival where it's like that.
